Version 1.3 of Guile released

Version 1.3 of Guile is now available via anonymous FTP from
ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu and
mirrors.

Guile is a portable, embeddable Scheme implementation written in
C. Guile provides a machine independent execution platform that can
be linked in as a library when building extensible programs.

The mailing list `guile@cygnus.com’ carries discussions,
questions, and often answers, about Guile. To subscribe, send mail

contains many bug fixes and incremental improvements. In
particular:

• The C API has been revised in many places, based on input from
  users.
• The `guile-config’ script makes it easier to compile and link C
  code that uses Guile.
• The blocking behavior of the cooperative threading system is
  improved.
• Guile can now use the readline library when run interactively,
  providing full command editing, history, and completion.
